But I also realize that our country is not l it appears. The difference between who it is and who we want it to be is stark.
Many Americans will at the traits you described and only see weaknesses. There is a large segment of our society that craves a strongman dictator that is "invincible" and harsh and violent and will crush all its enemies with no mercy.
They want to controlled. They want to be abused.

They are not the majority but they don't have to be. They only have browbeat and humiliate the competition and ensure more of them vote, this one last time, than our side. Apathy, fear, uncertainty and doubt all they need to win.
We cannot let them win. We have to do everything in our power to counter that apathy. To stop fear. To stop uncertainty. To stop the doubt. That is our only path to victory.
